Child Heart

I've never dealt well with anger, I barely let it sink in
I was far too scared to scar you, and tear your scent straight from your skin

I'll bite and gnaw through the anger, choke down the bitterness and bliss
What I say can't change actions, what I say can't bring you back

There was a loss of glow behind these eyes
Just open up and let me stir your insides
There was a loss of love in our lives
You left us to die

Your sweet child heart, loved me from the start
Your eyes give way for castaways
Oh I love you so, so much I'll let you go
You're mine to take, and mine to break

I can handle our failure, but I can't handle our loss
And I won't grin and dance in ashes, while tears flow through your lashes?

Love, why can't we fight it?

Back up your words of passion, cry cascades and mourn our kiss
You are far too free and silent, I knew you'd fucking quit

Is this what you wanted?
Then get the fuck out!

There is still so much I love in you, so much to miss
Have the shores left you scarred?
Through the sulfur you can swim
Just swim closer, and let me in
